Newsmag is one of the most popular magazine themes for WordPress. It is highly customizable, so you can use it to create sophisticated layouts for any type of website. It has various post and category styles for you to choose from. It can even track views on your posts. While you can view this information in the back-end, you can’t easily sort your posts by views. At least I couldn’t find an easy way to do so.
